    I would stitch across the blue ones diagonally. then maybe stitch 1/4 inch away in the whites.

    Your quilt is beautiful. I guess I would SID around each block. I don't know about the boarders?

    be careful with the spray basting, many are allergic to it, very allergic - like trouble breathing
    please do not be alone the first time you try it, if allergic you may need to go to the hospital for help breathing

    I think I would do a Baptist fan all over the whold quilt. I've done that before from the back side & it works great!

    I think it would look adorable with each little square quilted, 1/4" in from the seams. But if you want to break up the squareness, you could do a big round spiral or fan on each 4-patch, and maybe something else on the whites.

    I hand quilt and I would stitch
    around the 4 squares, & maybe
    around the corner square.

    Love the blue.

    Hi: You can get 1/4" tape and tape it on and stick in front of it. Just move the tape each time. I did my first quilt, Log Cabin, all my hand, and used the tape to quilt it with. No I didn't machine it. It took me six month to make it, while everyone in the class finished theirs in two weeks. At that time I didn't understand how.
